Here we have Marcus (my little cousin), Isaiah and my cousin Courtney's girls, Josie and Grace, chit-chatting around a fishing hole.
My Uncle Doug (Marcus' dad) came up from Milwaukee with Marcus and my Grandma.
Matthew somehow convinced my grandma to get in the truck and actually go on the ice and fish. Grandma had never done this before. Matthew kept her toasty in the truck while she fished out the window. She caught one heck of a fish too but it hopped off the line just as Matthew was landing it for her. He was bummed as he would have gotten the fish mounted for her as a souvenir.
Our buddy from Bavaria, Manfred, and my dad. Just discussing the ins and outs of ice fishing I'm sure.
My sister, Sally, Manfred and my dad. I think something was very funny.
We had some snow angels grace our presence while on the ice.
This is an Anna-angel.
Matthew's college buddy, Chris, took the kids for rides on the ice with his 4-wheeler.
Anna went for a ride, too. Apparently Anna was ready to go and Chris was speaking with someone on the sidelines. I hope he was prepared to fly. That girl likes speed.
There was even some inside fun. Anna had a blast playing her best friends. Ally and Emma are the twins across the road. I believe they were all the mommies and they were taking care of their babies.
After a long morning on the lake we all had some lunch in the shop. Matthew's taking a break with my Uncle Doug and Marcus.
Just some more folks eating lunch.
My cousin had never had a snowmobile ride before so Matthew took Marcus for a spin.
Manfred, from Germany, had a lifelong dream of riding a snowmobile. His dream was achieved and apparently Manfred spend the evening and much of the night playing on the snowmobile. Later, he walked into the shop and said he had had the best day of his life. Ha! Snowmobiles are only used by ski slope workers and rescuers in Germany. There is no way members of the general public can ride sleds.
After lunch we toured around the animals. We are all saying hello to the sheep here.
We were watching the chickens in this photo.

I really enjoyed looking at these pictures, Katie!
Seriously???
Ice fishing? Snowmobiles?
We live in completely different worlds. COMPLETELY different worlds.
Erin, glad you liked them.
Jess, I wondered if you'd get a kick out of this.
The thickness of the ice on our lake during that event was nearly 24". Isn't that something? We have gas powered augers that drill holes in the ice to get to the water. The photo of my Grandma and Matthew is of the truck ON the lake. The actual lake not near the lakeshore. On it. ha! Crazy Northerners, I tell ya.
